Bran for the Cow.

The fresh cow at this time Of the
year is g. first rate farm animal to use
her full capacity for profit. Nothing
else can be fed the cow that will give
such quick and gratifying returns as
wheat bran made in slop by scald-
ing, 1t is doubtful whether bran is
ever too high priced to feed fresh COWS
for month when they are first turned
out on grass. 1t will be found to be of
great worth during the entire grass
season in keeping up q steady. and
often increasing flow of milk. The
calf, too, will fatten better On such
milk, and will be freer from Interrupt
tions in making a steady growth. Any
farmer who has practiced the kind Of
economy that involves extra cost, at
tended by proportionately greater
profit, will quickly perceive an opening
IN this method for added gains. This
applies particularly to the wheat
growing regions, but is nowhere out Of
place. Even the most ordinary milk
COW will respond generously when
given such feed. Three COWS treated
thus are equal to five neglected ones.
Only to g. lew will this be otherwise
than reminder. -NahonazLive Stock

Did the Jews Cruelty Christ {?
From the Albany Journal.


The celebrated New York rabbi, DR..
Edward B. M. Browne, lectured at
Blocker Hall last evening on "Tne
Crucifxion of Christ, or Did the Jews
Cruelty Christ ?" He was introduced
by Christian minister, the Rev. w.
Ell. Tracy, OF Dundee, and anumber OF
Christians were present. He treated
his subject under the following heads:
j. Did the Jews cruelty Christ? 2.
We're they instrumental In his cruci-
fxion? 3. Did they indorse it? 4.
Does the Jew of to-day approve it
5. Does history testify to their suf-
ferings In consequence? He por-
trayed the condition of Palestine
under the Romans. Galilee Was the
poor and superstitious part OF the
country. 1t had gathered g. mixed
population-the dregs of foreign
armies thai had crossed it. To the
more enlightened Judeans a. Galilean
was regarded in about the same light
that the English would regard q man
from the poorest county in Ireland.
AT this time Christ appeared. His
miracles had been among the ignor-
ant of Galilee. Whenever he ap-
peared at Jerusalem be went about in
the night, confded his secret only to a
woman, and if he CHANGED to do any
thing marvellous had disappeared be-
fore any one could find out who he
was, yet his miracles had given him
nOtoriety enough to attract the at
tention OF the Romans. He came up
to the Passover and secured his lodg-
ings secretly in back upper room.
The speaker believed that Judas
had confessed TO his master and COM
rade that the Roman police had ap-
preached him and offered to protect
Jesus during the feast. This Judas
had thought the safest thing to do,
and had so counseled. Hence when
the alarm was given, Jesus said to
Judas, AGO quickly" intending to let
the Romans take himself in charge,
while the disciples scattered. Judas
did not dream OF the soldiers in
tentions when he gave his master to
them. He did not need the silver.
In the years of his treaeurership he
had had many chances to steal all
the apostles had, but he was too hon
est to do it-and now when he learns
what is to be done With the master he
loves SO much he throws away the
money and hangs himself in despair.
DR.. Brown asked for one example in
history where a traitor committed
suicide. Such man has reached a
point too far beyond remorse for
that. and examples were cited from
history. The slow and careful pro-
ceedings of the Sanhedrim, the strict
Jewish customs at Passover which
prevented their participation IN any
kind Of civil proceedings-the delays
necessary IN the courts Of those times
the absence of Jews at thelast scene,
all go to throw blame on the
Romans. The reverence with which
Christ is referred to in the Talmud
and treated by the Jews to-day, goes
to prove their disapproval OF his
death. The financial prosperity of
the Jews in all parts of the world, the
eminence that some Of them, such as
Disraeli, Gambetua, Lasker, CASTER
have attained shows that they have
been blessed as much if not more than
the rest of mankind. and do not live
under g. curse.

Rebels.

The Ottawa Free Press reads a lit
tie lecture to the intense loyalists OF
Canada who dub as rebels those who
differ with them. "The men," it says,
''who are the rebels Of one genera
ton are generally the statesman and
patriots of the next. George E. Cartier
was rebel in 1887 and g. price was
set on his head, but in 1887 we find
g. statue erected on Parliament
Square in his honor, the aforesaid
statue being paid for out of the Do
minion treasury. All the liber-
ties which the world enjoys to.
day it owes to men who were IN their
lifetime described as rebels"

FARM AND HOME.
BXCOnAS.

Bygones.
Twas away on yonder hillside,
In childhood hours played,
I've roamed the dear old valleys,
And sat in yOnder shade,
Beneath the giant apple tree,
Close in some little nook,
And watched the gurgling waters
Of the shining, winding brook.
I watched the glowing sunset,
Each golden tinted cloud,
And gazed with peaceful rapture
AS night brought forth her shroud.
The stars, so bright and twinkling,
Peeped forth in yonder sky.
The pale queen rode triumphant,
While the low breeze hardly sighed.
Then knew no cares or trOu bles,
Life knew no bitter scenes,
Ny hours were sweet and peaceful,
While | watched the silver stream:
But years must lose their luster
The bitter with the sweet,
The hill Of lie grow rougher,
That tread with weary feet.
But as the shadows lengthen,
If faithful, as pass,
I'll gain the golden summit
Ofheaven's mount at last,
And gaze with perfect rapture,
On the golden scenes of light,
Where shadows come, no never,
TO dim the glorious sight.

cling question to farmers, and one
that gives them q deal OF trouble. All
their seedlings over the subject, and
their pointed remarks about the lazi-
ness Of this degenerate age, seem to
make matters no better. There ere
other things besides hard work that
are steadily undermining all home
love, and making them dissatisfied
with it's quiet duties. And one Of the
most prominent is the little dime nov
ell hid about the hay NOV and under
the pillow, to be read by stealth, and

change for the latest. And not less

he may have "raised" your note after

mild in comparison with the evil often
wrought by this poisonous literature.
No destruction of propertyis equal to

is to drop it unopened under

knew q young person stepped in such
reading who did not scOrn his quiet
country home and it's simple unexeit-

science and less brigand reading would
make the farm life delightful and full
of interest. 1t would greatly widen
the horizon, and show the young peo-
pie what possibilities of self-cuiture lie
close at their hand. How little, as g.
general rule, farmers young people
know about the wonders OF natural
science, of botany, or of the science of
birds and insects, that, too, with
every facility for learning by observa-

When Wheat Should be Cut

The best time to cut wheat is q
point of great Importance to the far.
mer. The exceptionally high price for
Minnesota wheat in our markets is
largely due to the dry atmosphere OF
the section in which it grows. The
most valuable constituents of grain
OF wheat are gluten, starch and q
small amount OF phospnates. Gluten
forms flesh; starch is 81 heat producer
and forms fat. The per cent. of gluten
varies In different kinds of wheat.
Ohio wheat contains 10 to Is per
cent, while starch may constitute
from SO to 90 per cent. of the kernel.
Gluten is more nutritious than starch,
it's composition more nearly resem-
bling the muscular tissue Of animals.
Aside from the value Of gluten asfood,
it has valuable properties, in combi-
nation with starch, for making bread.
Wheat containing small amount of
gluten is softer, and will make much
whittier -four, for the gluten imparts g.
yellowish shade. But, if -four contains
too little gluten, it will not rise, even
If yeast be added. Gluten like glue)
forms with water tenacious paste,
SO that when fermentive action begins
in the dough, the gluten forms a cell
around the carbonic acid gas and re-
tains it, causing the dough to RISE
When baked SUCH bread is very light
and sweet, though not as white as
when little gluten is present. Many
farmers are induced TO cut their wheat
too soon, because the kernel remains
large and plump from the moisture
contained in the starch. Wheat con-
tanning q large amount of gluten will
appear shrunken, because the gluten
readily yields its moisture, but will be
far more valuable as food. Repeated
experiments have failed to snow any
Increase, either Of starch or gluten,
from day to day, after wheat has been
cut. The only rule we can suggest,
which may apply to all varieties is
this: Delay cutting as 10 g as is COM
patible with avoiding waste in hand
ling. When cut, secure it as promptly
and perfectly SIS possible. To make
the best bread, good, sound, gluti-
nous variety of wheat must be sown
on sound dry land; it must get fully
ripe before it is harvested, be secured
without damage, and must be prop
erly ground.-American Agriculturist.

Poultry Hints,

Hens that are confined In summer
must have green feed. 1t is an easy
matter to pluck few handfuls Of
grass each morning and give to the
poultry. But it is essential, and very
few hens will lay without g. green diet
IN some form. When q hen goes to
setting, then is the time to call her
out; if she be q poor specimen she will
be a nuisance around Ghe nests, and
even if broken up will be g. dead loss
for some time, as hen will not ordi-
narily begin laying again for two weeks
or more. The run of hen. house
should be dug up every morning
Each time the yard is spaded, sprinkle
In pint or more Of oats. This will
keep the hens busy, and the grain that
escapes biddie will sprout in few
days and afford the poultry q dessert
Of green oats. Nests In summer time
should be filled with excelsior when
easily obtained, not because it is
cooler than hay or grass, but for the
reason that lice are not so apt to
breed in It. Then excelsior is cleaner
and remains In position better than
most materials. 1t does not crowd
into the corners and leave the middle
Of the nest bare. Young chicks, of all
poultry, cannot be neglected. They
must have lots of care and attention.
Give the little chicks the dainty NOR
sells left from the table, plenty Of milk
and water and frequent sprinklings of
buckwheat. Then warm night re-
treat, and they will grow like weeds.
Though it is not advisable to disturb
g. setting hen unnecessarily, yet it is an
easy task to tell whether Or not the
eggs are fertile after the eighth day.
Il the germ be alive, the eggs will ap-
pear opaque or dark, except perhaps
q, small portion toward the top. But
if they are not impregnated, the light
will pass through them almost as if
newly laid. War against lice and otn-
er vermin should be waged with un-
firing effort in the hen-house, before
the pests really have an opportunity
to breed. 1t is an easy matter to keep
out the maggot when one starts soon
enough, but q very hard task it is to
rid hen-house OF insects after they
have once got hold. The best clean
sers of poultry houses are sulphur and
kerosene oil, and a liberal use of them
will give the fowls clean quarters.
Nothing more than general rules can
be laid down for the feeding of poultry
in summer. The quantity of food de-
ponds solely on the breed OF hens. The
heavier fowls, Brahmas, Langshans
and Plymouth Rocks should be fed
sparingly on oats, wheat aid screen
ings, with very little meal and corn
during the hot weather. The Leg
horns can be feed about every variety
of food with safety. They are so ner-
vous and why that is not an easy
matter to get them too fat.-American

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads ON to consumption. 1t is
therefore, singular thatth afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object Of
their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the conf
dence Of the great majority of sufferers in all
advertised remedies They become resigned to
2 life of misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful pallistives.
Put this win never do. Catarrh must be met
at every stage and combated with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed danger
o,ls symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the
nose, the organs of hearing, Of seeing and of
tasting so affected as TO be useless, the uyula so
elongated, the throat so infamed and irritated
as to produce constant and distressing cough.

of Catarrh from a simple head cold TO the mast

it invigorates the feeble, coEquers kidney

The funeral of the late Samuel Bell Nc
Kee took place Saturday forenoon from the
family residence, 1888 Adeline street, Oak
land AT the ceremonies there were pres
ent many prominent persons.
The charge of manslaughter that has
been preferred against L. J. Watson, whose
hay wagon ran over and killed John Pagan,
was dismissed, it appearing that the ac-
cused was not responsible for the death of
Pagan.
The charge of manslaughter against A.
Dalton, the gripman of the Suffer street
train that ran over and caused the death of
Mrs. Stewart, was dismissed, it appearing
that the death was the result of an I'M
avoidable accident.
G. w. Nelson, the Napa tanner, who
eloped with the wife of W. s. Brown and
was arrested last week for opening one of
her letters, was examined before United
